Quiet location - great host!
Our host was very gracious and really took care of us. The room and WC area were great. The breakfast provided was a feast. And, we talked about some of the things we were still hoping to see and his knowledge of the country provided some direction that was really helpful, allowing us to see more of what we had read might be possible.

Cute and cozy cabins. Host was very pleasant and a wealth of information about Iceland as he is well travelled. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. Appreciated the small signs to help find the property as otherwise would have been challenging to locate.

The owner is friendly and fun. We arrived after 10pm but he was waiting for us there. The best part is he shared lots of his adventures and photos. We were so inspired by his interesting life. And we had great chat with other passengers too during the nice free breakfast. This is the best stay of our Iceland trip! We loved it

Peaceful Stay in the Country
We stayed in one of the cottages. It was very quiet and comfortable. There are no restaurants for dinner near by so plan ahead. The breakfast was included and had a good selection of things to eat. It was served at a big table in the main house and gave us a chance to meet the host and the other guests.

Our host was gracious, laid-back, and wonderful to talk to! We were so happy to have a different kind of experience while staying in Iceland and not just being stuck in hotels. The cottage was rustic and breakfast was delicious. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable but it was good enough for a few days. We loved the area.

It was a bit tough to find this property at first as the most direct route is a quick turn from the highway to a pitted dirt road. Easy to get to once you know where you're going. Check-in was a bit challenging. There didn't appear to be an email address to contact the owner so had to make an international phone call which I would have preferred not to have done. Was told that there would be someone at the property to meet us but there wasn't so then needed to make another call. An email contact would be great as the owner is very interesting and would have been a great person to discuss travel and adventure ideas in the area prior to arriving. Breakfast was quite nice and at a communal table. Stayed in the family suite with five of us and using a shared bathroom. It was cozy but it worked. Overall, a great experience.

This is a unique accommodation offering a charming wood-built cottage and main house and a great personal connection with the owner (or the owner’s sister, in our case.) we really enjoyed connecting with her, admiring the amazing view and their Icelandic horses, and attacking the delicious breakfast buffet laid out for us!
